Sierra Nevada College, a private nonprofit liberal arts college with locations in Incline Village, Reno and Henderson, placed first for raising $73,223.

The Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in Las Vegas, also won first place for the highest number of unique donors contributing to its cause. The organization helps volunteers rescue and treat wounded animals, from fish to dogs and cats.

Cash prizes included a $5,000 reward to the participating organization with the most donations and another $5,000 for the organization with the most donors. Plus, NevadaGIVES, the sponsor of the event, donated money to random nonprofits throughout the day on Friday.

Friday's event, which was open to any 501 (c) (3) organization, saw more than 500 participating nonprofits. The charities received all but 4.9 percent of the total raised. The rest paid for credit card processing fees.
